Básicamente esta es la historia de We are the world, la canción con su correspondiente vídeo que fue el bombazo comercial de aquél año, y en el que participaron los reyes del pop de la época.
Para aquellos que tengan la edad necesaria, todavía podrán recordar el impacto que supuso en aquél momento, donde los telediarios (EL telediario) abrían sus ediciones con las imágenes de la hambruna, y se emitía el vídeo una y otra vez.
Aparte del significado del vídeo en cuestión, aquella canción fue un bombazo músico-comercial que marcó un inicio de eso que llaman la conciencia social de la gente famosilla, que comprendió que resultaba rentable eso de preocuparse por los pobres y tal.
El caso es que los que participaron en este invento fueron los más famosos del momento: Michael Jackson y Lionel Richie (los compositores), Tina Turner, Bruce Springteen, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder y muchos más prestaron sus voces y su imagen para tal acontecimiento social.
El resultado fue el que sigue, veinte años después:
[Lionel Richie]
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
[Lionel Richie & Stevie Wonder]
When the world must come together as one
[Stevie Wonder]
There are people dying
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
[Lionel Richie & Stevie Wonder]
When the world must come together as one
[Stevie Wonder]
There are people dying
Paul Simon se aprendió bien la lección y al año siguiente se fue a África a hacer su Graceland: el tercer mundo es un buen negocio.

Oh, Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares

Y así acaba la historia. La pandilla de amigotes fueron felices y se comieron las perdices, y los negritos pobres pudieron mordisquear las sobras.
Pero lo importante es que todo fue bonito y emocionante, ¿no es así?

Jacko sigue cantando hoy en día "where are the childreeen...".
(Alguien tenía que hacer el chiste, lo siento)
Hmmm....de los nerds, uno es Dan Aykroyd, ¿cierto? ¿Quién diablos son los otros dos? ¿Sabes que Aykroyd tiene una enfermedad similar al autismo?
¡Qué grandes los ochenta!
He estado mirando y remirando y no sé, no me parece Dan Aykroyd, pero quién sabe, quizá mucho más joven :-?
¡Claro que es Dan Aykroyd! Hasta sale en su filmografía.
Y el otro, el negro, es Harry Belafonte.
Sigo sin saber quién es ella.

Dudo mucho que ese sea Dan Aykroyd, comparadlo no mas con una peli tan famosa como "Los Cazafantasmas" que se realizó un año antes, no cuela.
A ver, Mustafás los Incrédulos:

Dan Aykroyd was in the chorus. He was a singer in the fictional band The Blues Brothers, but was invited to represent the movie industry.

Dan Aykroyd also sings on We Are the World. You can see him in the top row in the video. Dan Aykroyd was in the Blues Brothers was a band before it was a SNL sketch (and then a movie), hence he was a musician. VH-1's "Pop-Up Video" states he's there to represent the American film industry.
